To: <[email protected]> FAB16 is the 17th edition of the International conference in digital fabrication of the Fab Lab Network, taking place this year in Montréal, Canada. <https://fabfoundation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=703cd11616d78536ae5d303eb&id=ec80c8a811&e=aa37041b81> WELCOME *FAB16 Montréal | Canada #Fabricating the Commons* FAB16 <https://fabfoundation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=703cd11616d78536ae5d303eb&id=5cac1ebff4&e=aa37041b81>, the annual international Fab Lab Network conference, brings members of the Fab Lab community together with government representatives, academic researchers and experts, to present, vision, explore, collaborate and create across the fields of digital fabrication, manufacturing, technology and innovation. Under the theme *Fabricating the Commons*, the event will highlight Fab Labs as a community of practice, production and social action through knowledge-sharing around tools, designs, innovative processes and collaborative and distributed production. Fab Labs provide resources and open knowledge for the common good, for the community, for the environment - engaging in collaborative, democratic, participatory innovation. And participants in FAB16 will explore and experience the transformative potential of fabricating the commons. FAB16 attendees participate from more than 2000 Fab Labs across the world and include: fabbers, makers, engineerings, eco-friendly designers, artists, teachers, researchers, academics, experts from industry and more. Throughout the week of *online and in-person* activities, attendees can take part in this hybrid, distributed event. The conference will offer hands-on workshops, talks by outstanding researchers and leaders, a day of content-rich FAB-TV from the network, a festival of making, all focussed on what our sustainable future looks like and how we build that future together. The conference culminates in the Fab City Summit - three days during which we explore how to become locally productive and globally connected cities and citizens. *Visit our website <https://fabfoundation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=703cd11616d78536ae5d303eb&id=a6b39a0988&e=aa37041b81> for all of the details you need regarding registration <https://fabfoundation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=703cd11616d78536ae5d303eb&id=41fbb03419&e=aa37041b81>, participation <https://fabfoundation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=703cd11616d78536ae5d303eb&id=bd0b2257d7&e=aa37041b81> and more! * <https://fabfoundation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=703cd11616d78536ae5d303eb&id=84700eddfb&e=aa37041b81> PARTICIPATE <https://fabfoundation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=703cd11616d78536ae5d303eb&id=eca86750fe&e=aa37041b81> *Call for workshops!* Under the theme #FabricatingTheCommons, FAB16 <https://fabfoundation.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=703cd11616d78536ae5d303eb&id=9ab04bf25c&e=aa37041b81>, from August 9th to August 12th, 2021, is a hybrid and distributed event!
